AUGUST 19 FISHING REPORT

LAKE OF THE WOODS WALLEYE FISHING
 
Hey Sportsfans —
 
Ballard’s Resort has been busy this week, sending charter fishermen out to fish Lake of the Woods. 
 
The talk around camp has been that the fishers have been reeling in left and right and boats were filling up limits before 11 o’clock! 
 
Doing the trick this week…  
– worms or minnows (What is your go to?)
– spinners (Ask for gold or silver!)
– depths of 15-25′ drifting in Little Traverse Bay (That’s where you will fill the cooler.)
 
The lake has been extra rough, even when the forecast said to expect a calm day, it turns out, once again, the internet isn’t always right. 🙂
 
Fishing Lake of the Woods in August? You have a hot chance at a trophy walleye. Our guides have reported the mud has been on fire with slot fish and overs (especially on a day with a little “walleye chop”).
 
SET THE HOOK!
